All drugs have the potential cause to side effects and anaphylaxis.The bioavailability of the drugs is different in newborns. Therefore has the tolerability and efficacy of the medicationsin the newborn period more importance. Meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of infections. We describe here a neonate who developed anaphylactic shock after use of intravenous ...

Although glucocorticoids are often used as an adjunct to epinephrine to treat anaphylactic shock, glucocorticoids can also be a rare cause of anaphylactic shock. Only through the administration of a challenge dose of different glucocorticoids and different substrates that glucocorticoids are delivered in can the determination be made about which glucocorticoid or accompanying solvent may be the...

Anaphylactic shock is an exceptional mode of revelation of a liver hydatid cyst and it is in almost all cases secondary to an intraperitoneal rupture. The spread of hydatid cyst content into the bloodstream is even more exceptional. We report the case of a 36 years-an old woman who presented a severe anaphylactic shock preceded by abdominal pain. Abdominal CT showed a liver hydatid cyst with a ...

1. The polysaccharide fractions from each of five yeast-like fungi produce rapid, fatal anaphylactic shock in guinea pigs passively sensitized with antiserum from rabbits immunized against the killed organisms. 2. Cross-anaphylactic reactions with heterologous polysaccharide fractions are frequent. They parallel closely the cross-precipitin reactions, thus adding evidence in favor of the identi...

Apparently pure IgG fractions of some human sera contain antibodies conferring passive cutaneous anaphylactic sensitivity on monkey skin for 1 to 4 hours. This property is heatstable at 56°C for 2 hours and is complement-dependent; it is not neutrophil-dependent; and the antibody does not confer anaphylactic sensitivity on guineapig skin. These short-term passive sensitising antibodies probably...

Although uncommon, anaphylactic reactions during surgery are very dangerous and can result in serious morbidity. Various anesthetics can trigger anaphylactic reactions, and incidents with cephalosporin antibiotics are on the rise. In the case presented, an 84-year-old woman scheduled for calcaneus fracture surgery, was injected with cefbuperazone as a prophylactic antibiotic. On the way to the ...

Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening event that can occur anytime during pregnancy. It has been reported following administration of various substances with adverse maternal and neonatal consequences. It should be considered in the differential diagnosis of intrapartum collapse. We encountered a case of severe anaphylactic reaction following a routine cesarean section. It is very important that al...

Cinephotomicrography shows emboli are formed in the lung during stages of anaphylactic and endotoxin shock and platelet counts are decreased. Rabbits in anaphylactic shock had a 50 percent mortality while 100 percent mortality was associated with endotoxin shock. During the terminal phase, the platelet count recovers in anaphylactic shock but not in endotoxin shock. This suggests a difference i...

The anaphylactic release of histamine from perfused, chopped guinea pig lung is very sensitive to changes in the NaCl concentration of the containing medium, and it is ionic strength rather than particle concentration which is critical. Consequently, in studies with inhibitors care must be taken to avoid inadvertently increasing ionic strength and thereby misinterpreting the cause of the inhibi...

OBJECTIVE Anaphylaxis is the most severe form of radiocontrast media (RCM) induced hypersensitivity and can be life-threatening if profound hypotension is combined. With increased use of iodine based RCM, related hypersensitivity is rapidly growing. However, the clinical characteristics and risk factors of RCM induced anaphylaxis accompanied by hypotension (anaphylactic shock) are not clearly d...
